Basics of DIP Switches
DIP Switch is a miniature switch that is mounted onto printed circuit boards and used to make settings on electronic devices. The name "DIP switch" comes from having the same shape and array of terminals found in integrated circuits (dual inline package), thus abbreviated to DIP.
DIP switches are widely used in communication equipment, commercial equipment and industrial equipment with optional features including surface mounting, assortment of poles, different actuator types and sealing structure.

Image Sensor for Human Recognition
OMRON Corporation has been developing image sensing technology "OKAO Vision" for Human Recognition for over 20 years, which enables the detection of faces, facial featrues, -human bodies coupled with the estimation of age or gender of the humans in the captured images. OMRON had licensed this technology into mainly digital cameras and smartphones, and consequently those have amounted to a total over 10 million licenses. Furthermore, OMRON has launched Human Vision Components (commonly referred to as HVC), which are modular solutions, and each incorporates 10 human sensing functions which are features of "OKAO Vision", including the functions mentioned above.

D6T MEMS Non-Contact Temperature Sensor

OMRON's MEMS non-contact temperature sensor is an infrared temperature sensor that can measure target surface temperature without touching, by receiving radiant heat from the object with thermopile element(s).

To support embedded applications, OMRON has implemented thermopile element(s) and ASIC into one package of MEMS non-contact temperature sensor using its unique MEMS technology, materializing an ultra-small module. Digital output of temperature data detected by the MEMS non-contact temperature sensor through I2C communications can reduce both processing load of the master-end microcontroller and the development period.
